Self-Driving Cars and Blockchains
2 comments mishaSubmitter AI didn’t just arrive—it took over, seamlessly integrating into our routines and making itself indispensable. Blockchain, meanwhile, is still under the hood, struggling to prove it belongs on the road at all. mishaSubmitter Talking about use cases for blockchain, I think still one of the best powers of blockchain is permissionlessness - you don’t have to ask anyone permission to use it. It is the idea of the vending machine as described by Nick Szabo in 1997 (Yes, Szabo - not Sparkles ;) You have a smart contract, you throw in a coin and you get a can of soda. Automatically. The thing is, maybe there are just still a lot of people who don’t mind to ask permission. Or are just used to it, or even like to have a man in the middle. Anyway, confessing I drive a Prius. It’s a great car which brings the best of both worlds, EV and combustion. What would the Prius of blockchain look like? |
